What graphics card should I opt for?

[JadeGrffin]

My current setup is as follows:
Ryzen 5 2600 not OC'ed
RX 460
16 GB of DDR4 3200 Mhz ram
1 TB HDD

As you can see my graphics card is the part that needs a desperate upgrade and I was looking in the future to get a graphics card that can do 1440p 60fps. Also I know benchmarks arent out yet to the public, but do you think my CPU will bottleneck the new gen of GPUs?

I would wait for 2070 performance numbers. But if you can’t wait that long. 1080 is good buy.

You cpu is fine to handling top tier gtx

Depends. Personally I'd buy a 2nd hand 1070 or above, depending on what's the best price you could get, because many people will be selling now in anticipation of the new gen. A 1070 will do the job a 100% for 1440p60fps if that's what you are aiming for and if you don't want to spend a lot.
The CPU needs changing as well and that again depends on your budget.

I would suggest a 1070 or 1070ti as that is pretty much the minimum for 60fps 1440p but you may get bottle necked by about 10-15% and your CPU would definetly bottleneck the new RTX series. You could opt for a 1060 6gb (asus rog strix base overclock would work best) for 1440p as well, but it may be hard to reach 60fps although you may experience less bottle necking.

a 2600 dosnt bottleneck anything out right now, so shouldnt i get a 1080ti?

yeah sorry I wasnt thinking when I wrote that, but if you do get a 1080ti it will almost definitely run games 1440p games at ultra and possibly a lot higher than 60fps, depending on the game.

Depending on your budget 1070 TI or a 1080 TI. Prices are coming down so snap one of those up and you will be happy.
